DESCRIPTION:
"No More Week" is an annual campaign organized by the No More Foundation to end domestic abuse and sexual violence. Launched in March 2013 by a coalition of advocacy organizations, No More is a project of the NEO Philanthropy charity. The week usually falls in early March, coinciding with International Women's Day. The primary goal of this campaign is to encourage individuals, organizations, and communities to unite and take action against domestic abuse and sexual violence.HOW PREVELANT IS DOMESTIC ABUSE?
No More initiated the campaign in response to the underreporting of domestic abuse and the lack of support for victims. For example, a 2009 report in Northern Ireland revealed that domestic abuse was the least likely reported of all violent crimes. A 2014 survey in the European Union found that only 14% of women reported their most serious incident of domestic abuse to the authorities. This underreporting is a significant issue worldwide, and the No More Week campaign seeks to address it by raising awareness and support.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a notable increase in domestic abuse cases worldwide. The lockdown measures, which confined people to their homes, often trapped victims with their abusers, leading to a spike in violence and further underreporting.
As part of its efforts, the No More Foundation provides various resources and organizes events to educate the public about domestic and sexual violence. Their activities include the No More Week Virtual 5k race, public awareness campaigns, and the provision of educational resources.DOMESTIC ABUSE: WHO IS THE ABUSER?
Regarding domestic abuse statistics, it's important to note that while both men and women can be victims of domestic violence, women are disproportionately affected. In the United States, for instance, a woman is assaulted or beaten every nine seconds. Women between the ages of 20 and 24 are at the highest risk of becoming victims of domestic violence.
Domestic abuse in LGBTQ relationships is a complex issue. Studies suggest that members of the LGBTQ community may experience domestic violence at equal or even higher rates than their heterosexual counterparts. The unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ community, such as societal stigma and discrimination, can exacerbate the impact of domestic violence and create barriers to seeking help.
The issue of men being abused by women is also recognized and a growing trend, which often includes psychological abuse, gaslighting, and direct physical assault. Men have difficulty reporting abuse by a female partner due to social norms and standards. However, domestic violence is a matter of power and control, and it can manifest in various forms, irrespective of sex.
No More Week serves as a critical platform to highlight issues related to domestic violence and sexual assault, encouraging a collective effort to address and prevent these problems.
